The left photo pictured is of Scottish inventor, John Logie Baird, using what is known as one of the very first televisions in the 1920s. The television was actually invented in 1927 and you had to look into the receiving machine to see the moving picture. Now, just about every home has some kind of television, whether it be an actual cable set or a smart TV.

5. Radio

These radios back in the 1920s were much bigger and bulkier. Nowadays, many of the radios have been amplified with ‘smart’ features like a touchscreen. That is if people even listen to the radio anymore! Many people are turning towards streaming music on Spotify, Apple Music, or even their Amazon Alexa.

6. Everyday clothing

Everyday clothing is something that truly evolves and changes as time goes on. With that being said, retro clothing items are continuing to come back into style! Maybe we’ll see a return of some 1920s fashion for the 2020s.

7. Music players

Back in the day, in order to listen to music, you’d have to put a record on. While many people still use vinyl records to this day, you can turn to your smartphone at any time to play pretty much any song.

Do you remember any of these old-fashioned items or still own any of them? Let us know!
